I dont know what you expected. I expected DKCTF to sell well, but it is not a system seller. The Wii U already has some great plattformers, people who want those already got the system. Mk8 and Smash Bros. will be system sellers though (hopefully). Nothing surprising for me here.
If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)
